Happy Halloween!

Oct
31

The New River through fall foliage near Hawks Nest State Park.

Happy Halloween!! What are you doing to celebrate? Me, first I’m terrifying myself by writing another 15 pages today. Oh, speaking of my Haven series…. The first Haven book is now officially titled Secrets Rising and will be a July 2007 release! I’m hoping to have a special Haven companion website up and running before the end of the year. My second Haven book, which I’m working on now, will be a November 2007 book and has a Christmas theme. These are supernatural, creepy books–so what’s not to love about a supernatural book with a Christmas theme, LOL.

As an aside in market news, and I’m sure this is old market news by now, my lovely and wonderful editor Jessica Alvarez has moved to the Steeple Hill division and I’m now working with the lovely and wonderful Tara Parsons!

And still speaking of business, anyone notice the new Silhouette Intimate Moments covers? The name of the line is morphing to Silhouette Romantic Suspense. For now, they are listing both names on the covers, Silhouette Intimate Moments and Romantic Suspense. As they transition, the Intimate Moments wording will drop off and it will say only Silhouette Romantic Suspense. The line will be fully transitioned within a few months. My Haven books will be released under the new Romantic Suspense logo. What do you think of the name change? Good, bad, indifferent?

And back to my original point–tonight, my daughter is going trick-or-treating with the cousins in beautiful downtown Walton. She started talking about how late she wanted to stay out trick-or-treating and my cousin said, uh, there are only two streets…..:roll:

Meanwhile, I am taking my teenagers to the movies! Yes, there is a special showing of a very campy, I’m sure, homemade slasher movie at the Robey tonight, a very cool, historic theater and the only theater in the entire county, believe it or not. My dad used to take his dates there–movie, popcorn and Coke for two = a quarter!

…BUT!

I know. I am always talking about how gorgeous WV is.

You just can’t take a photo here without it looking like a painting, it’s so pretty.

Take this fast-flowing, boulder-strewn trout stream. There’s a sign that says–Kayak At Your Own Risk. Uh, yeah.

This is Glade Creek Grist Mill, a restored water mill at Babcock State Park located in Fayette County, a couple hours from where I live. It’s a fully operable mill and they sell cornmeal and buckwheat flour through the park office.

Believe it or not, the park used to allow people to swim here.

Been anywhere good lately? Tell me!

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
